Daisui Li is a high-yielding Asian pear known for producing very large (up to a pound) to medium-sized fruits. It ripens after Bartlett and Shinko, with white, crispy, and juicy flesh. The fruit can be stored for up to 6 months at 32°F and is excellent for making dried pears. Introduced by Ben T. Iwakin of the University of California in 1985, it has a spreading shape and ornamental value. It is resistant to fire blight.
